We recently demonstrated that immature dendritic cells (DC) produce α-defensins1-3 and that α-defensins1-3 modulate DC generation and maturation. Since DC-HIV interaction plays a critical role during the first steps of HIV infection, we investigated the possible impact of α-defensins1-3 production by DC on disease progression.10 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Rodríguez García, M. et al., 2010http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/esVIH (Virus)ImmunologiaHIV (Viruses)ImmunologyIncreased alpha-defensins 1-3 production by dendritic cells in HIV-infected individuals is associated with slower disease progression.info:eu-repo/semantics/article5935312013-05-07info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess20195543
